27-Year-Old PitcherRP
Cleveland Guardians
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Avila split his time between Triple-A El Paso and San Diego, but is likely hoping his days in El Paso are over. The run environment in that park is hostile to pitchers and Avila has allowed 29 homers there over the past two seasons while allowing just 5 homers in 63.2 innings of work at the big league level. Avila had whiff rates better than 40% on both his changeup and curveball last season and he mixes his pitches and spots up to get one of the best groundball rates (60.3%) in all of baseball. He worked both as a traditional starter as well as a bulk pitcher last season so it is rather silly to look at his splits in that area other than to note his numbers were more effective in bulk outings than they were when he came in as a traditional starter. That small sample size does not tell us as much as the fact Avila is a favorite to be in the rotation this year for San Diego as they realign their budgetary priorities for a post-Soto & Snell world.

April 16, 2024
The Guardians acquired Avila from the Padres on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Avila was designated for assignment by the Friars on Friday, but he will remain on a 40-man roster as he moves to Cleveland. The 27-year-old righty has allowed eight earned runs across eight innings through four appearances this season, though he still holds a 3.77 ERA throughout his career. Avila doesn't have minor-league options remaining, so he'll assume a spot in the Cleveland bullpen as a long reliever.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Padres removed Avila from their 40-man roster last June, but he made his way back on following a strong finished at Triple-A El Paso. The 26-year-old has plenty of experience both as a starter and a reliever and has missed bats in both roles. What he hasn't done is throw strikes consistently, especially not since making it back from Tommy John surgery in 2021. The bullpen would seem to be the easier path to a significant role with the Padres for Avila and he would have some work to do before being trusted in leveraged spots.
